How does culture impact society and ultimately impact how we live? The current discussion allows for you to evaluate the impacts of culture on interactions and how changes within society occur.
You should spend approximately 4 hours on this assignment.
Instructions
List at least three norms, folkways, and mores of American society. How significant are these within the current American culture? If members from a past generation (e.g., your grandparents) made this list, would it look similar or different? In the same post, answer the following questions:
What do these differences or similarities imply about the social changes within our society?
How might these differ between an ideal and real society?
Here are some examples to consider:
Folkways are a type of norm that creates structure. Raising one’s hand to speak in a lecture signifies a norm.
Mores focus on moral and immoral behaviors. Cohabitation prior to marriage might be considered immoral and result in negative responses from family members.
Remember to fully explain and apply course material with educational support for consideration of credit.
Respond to the discussion question after researching the topic. Share with your classmates what you have learned by writing a post about the topic. The post should be a minimum of 150 words. Your original discussion post must include two sources cited in APA Style.
After you post your initial message, respond to the posts of at least two other students. Response posts should further the discussion by adding educational concepts and asking clarifying questions in a minimum of 75 words.
